Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XIV! (General)

i know I'm probably too late in asking but is there any plans to add the option of toggling the error message and sound on/off as for me I like to both press buttons repetitively and use macros on my scholar and in both cases I get constant error messages and it has really became far too annoying so to be able to turn it off without turning off the rest of the sounds would be great.

thank you.

You can turn off error messages completely by going into Chat Filters Configuration. The only exception is, you can't turn off the error messages that appear on-screen outside of the chat box.

RMT spam has been a frustrating annoying to every player. Seems most everyday we are talking about how annoyed we are at some spammer.

But RMT spam hasn't been reduced for month now. SquareEnix keeps announcing RMT spammers being punished, but doesn't effect the amount of frustrating spam we see everyday.

What steps are being done to stop this? Can we have an option to block tells for people not on our friend's list? Can there be a limit to maybe 10 tells to strangers per hour?

Please help us.

How will item desynthesis work?

Will we be able to desyntheze everything, such as darklight gear and other uncraftable items, or is it restricted to craftable items only?

Dear Yoshi-P,

Would it be possible to change the way Stoneskin works such that, when out of battle, Stoneskin is cast on all party members at once - just like Protect? Casting Stoneskin on 8 members takes roughly 30 seconds, which can become tedious when starting a trial/boss after repeated failures.

Thank you for your time!

Some Primal Extreme battles, such as Titan and Leviathan even more so, requires you to reposition yourself very fast.
You can do this using Sprint to help, but it takes away all your TP, making this option not viable for Disciple of War, who require TP to cause damage or keep aggro from the enemies. This gives Disciple of Magic a very big advantage.

Are there any plans to have some magic/skill that uses all your MP rather than all your TP in order to balance DoW and DoM on this aspect?

It could be called "Float" which has been present in Final Fantasy lore for decades, which would make you levitate and increase your movement speed.
This would make so much sense since most Disciple of War classes/jobs don't need MP for anything at all.

I would like to know how far out are the new races are from being announced.

Hrms got a few and gonna stream of conscious them so probably in no real order...

1. Any reason why FATE mobs are immune to provoke?
2. Will the Novus weapon upgrade(s) be as much of a <insert obscene gesture> to the players as the current Atma/Animus upgrade is? Specifically speaking of a tedious set of RNG farming for no actual upgrade followed by yet another set of grinding/waiting?

Edit: Since I actually just recently returned to the game following being a touch disgruntled during beta, I haven't been following the live letters and Q/As. Happened to glance through the most recent Q/A which raised some additional issues about the Zodiac Weapons that I mention here as well as a suggested change to the Zenith->Animus quests.
--
3. Any chance at the needed class bonus for roulettes being changed to actually be enticing? The gil reward at max level isn't terribly enticing.
4. Any chance of being able to obtain glamours for Relic/Zenith/Atma weapons for those who prefer those appearances but have upgraded the weapon?

As an aside, to the person who posted about WARs seeming weak, ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.....

When will we be allowed to dye Artifact Armor?

[Bionetto]

1. Is there a reason there are no kind of elemental buffs or skill/ability buffs given on items?

2. Any way in expanding Limit Breaks. They can do the same thing AoE / Single target but make the use class. BLM casting Meteor, understandable. MNK / DRGs using a Great Sword, when there really isn't a GS in the game..... eh.
